IMG Worlds of Adventure

 

For fans of dinosaurs and Avengers heroes, the IMG Worlds of Adventure spans an area the size of 28 football fields . It is a gigantic amusement park, articulated around four very distinct zones and universes, in particular the world of Jurassic Park!

The themes of the park are inspired by the most famous films and cartoons such as Cartoons, Powerpuff Girls, the Avengers and Ben 10. The star attraction is the Velociraptor, the largest and most popular roller coaster rapids ever built in Dubai.

One of the most popular attractions is the Lazy River! A pool crossing the entire site, a carousel that is sure to please you … In my opinion, this is one of the best places to spend time with the family, with many points of sale to eat during the day .

In terms of water parks, you also have the Aquaventure Waterpark of Atlantis which is for me the best water park in Dubai , but very popular with many people.

Bollywood Parks is the first-ever theme park dedicated to Bollywood cinemas , opening the doors to productions of India’s biggest films like Lagaan and Sholay . In addition to enjoying the rides, attend the many shows, concerts and attractions well associated with this universe…

The complex is divided into five zones highlighting every dimension, even the most singular, of the Bollywood industry . One attraction is particularly popular: Hero’s Flight , a 4D cinematic adventure in the heart of a battle between humans and aliens!
